Boston has a very tough matchup against the Rockets tonight at the Toyota Center in Houston. Houston comes in having won 3 of their last four after two inexcusable home losses, for what is supposed to be a championship contending team, against the Lakers and Clippers at home.

Boston comes in having lost three in a row and it doesn't get any easier for The Green Machine as tomorrow night they play the Western Conference leading Spurs in San Antonio.

- Jeremy Lin has been playing unreal basketball on the offensive end this season averaging 18 points and five assists while shooting over 44% from three ball land.

- Hopefully, that percentage goes down tonight considering The Celtics have excelled at defending the 3-pointer, holding opponents to 30.2 percent, among the best in the NBA. Houston leads the league in 3-point attempts at 26.5 per game, though it's making just 32.9 percent of them.

My prediction: Houston 119 Boston 104.
